Select list with options the values in this field from other issues and the option to add new values

I need to have a new customized field, type 'select list'. The options must be the values in this field from other issues. Also we want the option for the user to add new values as options in this select lst.

It's also going to be quite a hard one - the baseline select list is a set of options in a llist set by the admins. You're asking for a dynamic recursive list where the option list is drawn from existing issues, and of course, the ability to add ad-hoc ones (without being an admin and doing it from the interface).

However, what you are asking for is pretty much a "labels" field. It's not a drop-down, by it will suggest existing entries as people type. That's probably a far better option than writing a new field type.

I want this field for the error messages. If I use a label field then my message is broken to many labels. I saw an answer to use - or _ but we do not want to say to our users to write the message in such way.

Is there an add-on we can use?
